Yes, we’ve just spent a week in England visiting family, which we’ve enjoyed very much. We should be back at Courmettes by the time you read this. However, the photo is from the Pic de Courmettes, the highest part of the estate, which we climbed with others from A Rocha France the previous week. There are amazing views, as you can see (you might have to double-click on the image to see it better). This is the view northwards.

We also saw ravens, a Golden Eagle and two Griffon Vultures, plus the chamois whose photo was in last week’s blog.

Finally, just to say that we have been having serious problems with the landline and internet connection at Courmettes, due to a damaged telephone line. We hope this will be fixed in the coming week, but if we don’t reply to your emails, that’s why!
